You guys are gonna hate me. haha

I got offered a really good deal on the other two....the Ecstasy Blue and Uberschall Black, which completes the set of three. I couldn't pass up the opportunity, and I consider them all keepers.

Good gravy. Well, there's your 3-channel preamp on the floor. I wonder how they sound run straight in to a power amp and speaker cab, bypassing another preamp altogether.

Since I'm sure Bogner designed them for an edgy clean amp, I've found that they sound best into an amp with woodier sounding clean tone like a cleanish Marshall, AC-30, 410 Bassman, Gibson Goldtone, or Matchless. They still sound good into a Fender Blackface, but not quite as good. They might sound OK into a power amp, but they were probably designed to double up with an edgy clean preamp section.

Awesome, yet another superb set for you my Dandy friend! I'm really REALLY looking forward to your review to see how they compare in sound and feel to the real deal amp! Nice one Joe!

I run mine into a blues deluxe it sounds great, Bogner did say a separate clean channel is best or a sorta break up. Bet the fender blackface is killer and the Matchless good taste

Hmm, this makes me think one would sound good in front of my Blues Jr with the master volume turned up enough to get the power tubes to start cookin' a little and the preamp backed off so it's still clean.

prb not too bad, but they sound huge and good with a 6l6 fender amp turned up

Re: Scored a Bogner Red pedal.

I know that the Red that I tried out in front of that Hot Rod Deluxe sounded great, which had 6L6s in it, but the Blues Jr is a little different, because it has EL-84s. Damn, now I'm jonesing for one of these pedals again. Lol

Re: Scored a Bogner Red pedal.

One thing I like about every Bogner product is that the controls all sound best at noon, just like a mixing board.
Then, you're either subtracting or adding something. I like this a lot more than super loud pedals, where the controls sound best at 9:00 - 11:00.

Think of the Bogner pedals like this...
Blue - SRV to Angus Young
Red - Judas Priest to Joe Satriani's lead tone
Black - Metallica to modern metal (Dual Rec, Engl, Uberschall)

I just grabbed the black Uberschall. It's heavy enough when pushed with a tube screamer.

Boost just seemed to add volume, not what I was looking for.
